Dem Eric Swalwell says you should be able to vote by phone

[bladefd]

They can make it hard to hack but what method is 100% though?


I am against the phone idea for other reasons, mainly I just don't think that voting should be easy for anyone. If you don't care enough to drive down the street, get out of your car, and mark a ballot, then you probably shouldn't be voting at all. When things get too easy, then we will see lots of troll votes from idiots who don't care either way.

Agreed. I would continue mail-in-ballots but expand it to every state (some currently make it harder to register for mail-in-ballots so fix that). Let people actually take the time to open them, read, fill them out physically, sign, and mail. I think that's more than reasonable.

[Yes or No]

The only way you would be able to vote remotely in a secure, immutable and verifiable fashion would be for the government to adopt a blockchain that was publicly accessible. That or some other cryptographic method.

This would actually be better than in person voting because the public could audit the votes themselves.

The public is not intelligent enough to do this. A lot of them are barely smart enough to properly fill out a paper ballot. Not to mention the hardware adoption to minimize cyber theft of individual votes that would need to occur and learning curve. This will happen in the distant future perhaps or perhaps robots will take over and there will be no more voting because we won't need to, be that for the good or bad.

That being said, the idea of voting by phone is one of the most braindead things I've ever read and anyone who isn't trolling that truly supports it is equally braindead.

He's absolutely right.

Do you know how easy that makes fraud?

Do none of yall care about that shit?

why, of course we do. both sides have made thorough attempts, but only MAGA pretends like it's a democrat issue. fyi, i've met a lot of illegals...never once has any of them mentioned anything about voting but they go into deep detail how a coyote crossed them through the desert. interesting narrative no?
